I think, we get some very large very intimidating
African American men and send to polling places in areas that are 100% white and 75% republican to challenge voters in 2008.

Think about it. The people in the suburbs are there, partially at least, because they fear the "urban lifestyle". Now in order to keep up that perception of an isolated lifestyle, (a cocoon, if you will, comes to mind) a whole lot of these folks work and rush around like the dickens.....

How long do you think an attorney or an accountant would wait to prove he is eligible to vote.....

How long before the words "do you know who I am" are uttered....

How long before the local gendarmes are summoned to rid the area of "this riff raff"....

And how long before the local news would be covering these scenes of "voter intimidation" played out in a neighborhood near you....

So, I propose we do the same to them as they have done to us......

twelve voting stalls for every registered voter?

7. In 2002, I saw a guy intimidate his way into the
polling place even though he had moved out of the precinct he was registered in.

I couldn't believe it. In Ohio you have to register 24 before the election in order to be an
"official" challenger so I couldn't say or do anything about it.....

BTW, I live in one of those Lilly white republican enlaves..

Can't help it... It was a quite, sleepy exburb when we moved out here in the 1960's and now it is full of McMansions, Hummers and tres chic bistros..........

6. Send Sheetmetal Workers Union members
They've already proven their efficiency.

8. yes, and the first challenger who actually tries to prevent
someone from voting should be beaten into a coma in front of all the other potential disruptors. The process would move very smoothly after that.
